Slokam-32. ( Lord persuades Arjuna : O Partha, happy are the kshatriyas to whom such fighting opportunities come unsought, opening for them the doors of the heaven ( Swargham ).)

Yadrcchaya copapannam swarggadvaramapavrtam,

Sukhinah kshatriyah partha labhante yuddhamidrsam.

partha! = hey Arjuna!

yadrcchaya upapannam = by its own accord, arrived at;

apavrtam swarggadvaram ca = wide open door of heaven;

idrsam yuddham = like this war;

sukhinah kshatriyah labhante = available to very lucky kshatriyas only.

The impending war is happening by itself, on its own, without any solicitation on the part of Arjuna. Thus when it happens he and his brothers will be fighting on the side of righteousness which constitutes the means for acquiring heavenly happiness without obstacles. Such a war can only be fought by the most fortunate of ksatriyas and Arjun…

Slokam-31. ( Considering your specific duty as a Kshatriya, you should know that there is no better engagement for you than fighting on "Svadharmam" ( one's own duty ) principles; and so there is no need for hesitation. )

Slokam-30. ( Lord's teachings ......to Arjuna : O descendant of Bharata, he who dwells in the body is eternal and can never be slain. Therefore you need not grieve for any creature. )

dehi nityam avadhyoyam dehe sarvasya bharata

tasmat sarvanni bhutani na tvam socitumarhasi.

bharata! = hey Arjuna!

sarvasya dehe = in everyone body;

ayam dehi = dwelling Atma ( soul );

nityam avadhyah = ( eternally ) cannot ( never ) be killed ;

tasmat sarvanni bhutani = therefore, about whole living things;

tvam socitum na arhasi = you ( Arjuna ) need not to be sad.

Thus in the course of teaching in brief the incomprehensibility of the eternal soul, the explanation of why one has no need for lamentation of the physical body is being concluded. The embodied self, meaning the eternal soul is quite clear.

Slokam-29. (Lord continues... "Some look on the soul as amazing, some describe him as amazing, and some hear of him as amazing, while others, even after hearing about him, cannot understand him at all.")

Slokam-28. ( Krishna clarifies further ........ All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their interim state, and unmanifest again when they are annihilated. So what need is there for lamentation? )

Avyaktadini bhutani vyakta-madhyani bharata,

Avyakta-nidhanany eva tatra ka paridevana.

Bharata bhutani = Arjuna all living and non-living things;

Avyaktadini = In the beginning ( before taking birth ) not seen;

Vyakta-madhyani = In the middle period ( between birth and death ) seen;

Avyakta-nidhanany eva = In the last ( after death ) not seen;

Tatra ka paridevana = In that why do you ( Arjuna ) lamenting!

In this slokam the Supreme Lord Krishna explains the fact that here on Earth whatever happened before birth is unknown by the use of the word avyak…

Slokam 27. ( Lord persuades Arjuna with more tattvam of life : " Why should one not grieve? Because a natural function is being enacted according to cosmic order. Therefore understanding the reality of the existence of birth and death there should be no delusion." )

Slokam-21. ( O Partha, how can a person who knows that the soul is indestructible, unborn, eternal and immutable, kill anyone or cause anyone to kill? )

vedavinasinam nityam ya enamajamavyayam,

katham sa purushah partha kam ghatayati hanti kam.

partha ya enam = hey arjuna! who him ( Atma );

ajam nityam = unborn, and ever present;

avyayam = immutable ( who has no ups and down );

avinasinam veda = indestrictible, imperishable, ( knows him );

sah purushah = he, this person;

kah katham ghatayati = how can persuade to kill anyone;

kam hanti = kills whom.

Everything has its proper utility, and a man who is situated in complete knowledge knows how and where to apply a thing for its proper utility. Similarly, violence also has its utility, and how to apply violence rests with the person in knowledge. Although the justic…

Slokam-20. ( For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain. )

na jayate mriyate va kadacit

nayam bhutva bhavita va na bhuyah

ajo nityah sasvato-yam purano

na hanyate hanyamane sarire.

ayam = he ( Atma );

kadacit na jayate = at any times (past, present or future) never takes birth;

Srimad Bhagavad-Gita :Chapter-2. ( Samkya-yogam )Slokam-19. ( He who thinks that the living entity is the slayer or that he is slain, does not understand. One who is in knowledge knows that the self slays not nor is slain. )

ya enam vetti hantaram yascainam manyate hatam,

ubhau tau na vijanito nayam hanti na hanyate.

ya enam hantaram vetti ca = who? thinks ( he ) the killer of atma, not only that;yah enam hatam vetti = who? thinks atma ( is the ) killer; tau ubhau na vijanitah = those two ( the above two types of people ) do not know the reality ( Truth );ayam na hanti = atma do not kill;na hanyate = and not get killed too.

When an embodied living entity is hurt by fatal weapons, it is to be known that the living entity within the body is not killed. The spirit soul is so small that it is impossible to kill him by any material weapon, as is evident from the previous sloaka-s. Nor is the living entity killable because of his spiritua…
